…so that we should not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes…(2 Corinthians 2:22)

I was sorely wrong at times when stepping over the victory line of any given season. Our minds prepare for a lesser battle after the crossing over into the promised land. However, I’ve learned this is when the real battle begins.

The enemy will not give up the territory easily. You will still have intense battles, so prepare now. If God is taking you “over” there are new giants to fight. Yet, you must remember you have been fully prepared.

Do not let your guard down now. It is the time to be most diligent in prayer. Stay on the watchtower at all times.

Right after a victory, often, all of Hell comes knocking at your door.

Be sure you are ready and willing to evict the uninvited guests quickly. They will stay as long as you let them.

I’ve heard it said, “Higher levels bring higher devils.” I can agree with this yet know none are as high as Christ Jesus and who He is in each of us.

Do not be caught sleeping after crossing over into your territory. If you do, the enemy will sneak in and plunder you.

“Do you be unaware of the devil’s schemes.” There is a reason we are told this in the scriptures.

Know your enemy. Discern any patterns in your life. He is relentless, but so is Christ who fights for you.

Walk in bravery. Be strong and courageous.

But be sure on the hills of a victory, you are still prepared for a battle.

Whatever you do, do not drop your sword.
